Below them were three wranglers working with about a hundred head of cattle. They were probably driving them to a place where they would join with the majority of the herd. Sandusky intended for them never to get there. He sent half a dozen of his men down to grab the cattle, and dispose of the hands. The simplest and easiest way was for them to get as close as possible, and then start shooting. Just in case that started the hundred head stampeding, he had placed the rest of his men so that they’d be able to intercept the small herd and stop them before they really got started. Delilah remained at his side. He and Anderson watched the action, making sure that everything went right. It did. The three ranch hands were dead before they knew what happened. The cows did panic and start to run, but the rest of the men successfully cut them off and stopped them.
